| Publisher Description: Jockey Kelly Hughes and trainer Dexter Cranfield have been barred from racing--a devastating event for them both. The charge at the secret enquiry? Throwing a race for personal profit. It is a vicious frame-up, and worse, they have nowhere to turn to clear their names. Still, Hughes refuses to take the phony verdict lying down--even though his personal enquiry might have him lying down permanently. |
